The Animated Atlas of African History (AAAH) is an online year-by-year map of selected themes in the history of Africa between 1879 and 2002. The project started in the summer of 2004 when Professor Nancy Jacobs attended the Brown Instructional Technology Groups Summer Institute. Professor Jacobs was looking for the best way to make her students conceptualize colonization and decolonization, post-colonial political developments, conflicts, and economic and demographic changes of the African diversity. A Flash multimedia approach was chosen. The online animation uses the historical data collected and compiled through extensive research. The map is surrounded by a website containing additional resources which make the experience of the history of the times more accurate. The About section of the website highlights the research and representation choices behind the creation of the map. The Help file linked off the map illustrates how the map works.

Most Iron Age archaeological sites only reveal a small part of what was there originally because organic material such as wood, leather, rope and thatching reed usually rot away very quickly under most conditions. Even when the walls of roundhouses were made from stone, little more than the foundations survive, usually because building stone would be reused once the roundhouse was abandoned. Experimental archaeological techniques can speculate on how roundhouses were constructed during the Iron Age. This animation makes the archaeology come to life.

Rome Reborn is an international initiative whose gol is the creation of 3D digital models illustrating the urban development of anicent Rome from the first settlement in the late Bronze Age(ca. 1000 B.C.) to its depopulation in the early Middle Ages (ca. A.D. 550). The site currently presents Rome at A.D. 320. The site is a collaboration with IATH at the University of Virginia, the UCLA Cultural Virtual Reality Laboratory, the UCLA Experiential Technology Center, the Reverse Engineering Lab at the Politecnico di Milano, the Ausonius Institute of the CNRS and the University of Bordeaux-3, and the University of Caen.

The Secret in the Cellar webcomic is a forensic science mystery based closely on the case of the Leavy Neck boy, a clandestine burial of a teen in the cellar of a 17th-century house from the tidewater area of the Chesapeake. The Webcomic is a set of instructional materials that discloses the power of forensics to reveal the intimate details of an individual’s life, and the circumstantial evidence of their death, centuries later. The reading level and science activities are appropriate for grades 7 and higher. As scientists would do with real cases, users of the webcomic will examine evidence, form hypothesis, and make predictions. In story fashion, the Webcomic uncovers details from the life of a nameless teen caught in the conditions of servitude in colonial America. Through a careful study of the forensic evidence by the webcomic user, the colonial teen’s life, his physical health, the indelible marks of heavy and repetitive physical labor, and the physical trauma suffered around the time of death all work to bring face-to-face recognition of a 17th century boy.By completing forensic and archaeological activities students treat evidence as scientists in those fields would, making observations, analyzing evidence, and testing hypotheses. Analysis of the cold case is framed by 17th century colonialism in the Chesapeake Bay area.
